Having a second Zombie. 🧟‍♂️

This looks familiar. What could it be? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System

can’t wait for xvideos!!!

New glasses prescription. I can see, but seeing is apparently going to make me want to barf for a while.

Jet Pilot ¾ oz lime juice ½ oz grapefruit juice ½ oz cinnamon syrup ½ oz Falernum 1 oz Coruba Rum ¾ oz Stades Dark Rum ¾ oz Lemon Hart 151 Rum 2 dashes Angostura bitters Several drops absinthe Add crushed ice and flash blend with a drink mixer. Open pour into a double old fashioned.

Muons are elementary particles like electrons, but they’re unstable. But they move so fast that their decay time looks way longer to us because of relativistic time dilation. Also one just went through your brain and you didn’t even notice. 🧪

DEAL.

I accept this offer, but only if @jerilryan.bsky.social moderates.

So, the 1956 Zombie is not nearly as good as the 1934 Zombie. ¾ oz of maraschino liqueur is just way too much.

How about a moderation policy of Don’t Be A Fucking Asshole? Seems like it’d be relatively straightforward to implement.

Digital information technologies are transforming society. Our piece out today argues that we need an intergovernmental body like the IPCC to collate information about implementations and consequences, benefits and harms of these systems. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01606-9

Who'd have thought that a rich, not-so-bright, white dude from South Africa would be a white supremacist?

I’m not sure I’m allowed to say this, so don’t tell anyone I told you. But you should really watch the WWDC keynote on June 5. Shhhhhh. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/03/apples-worldwide-developers-conference-returns-june-5/

@merz.bsky.social FYI @carlbergstrom.com is also here. :)

Happy Friday, everyone. Puka Punch, a recipe from Tiki Ti in LA.

Encrypted DMs so encrypted that you can’t even decrypt your own DMs or the ones sent to you!

Meanwhile, on Twitter...

Two more days until I get my first invite. Who should I give it to?

I honestly wish I could cross post this to Mastodon.

so a couple of thoughts on what fiatjaf is saying I’m gonna start with this: I don’t feel the same way about nostr or activitypub or most other projects. generally speaking, everybody is engaging in tradeoffs and optimizing for different things. which is a good thing

Yup just give Jeri as many invites as she wants, @jay.bsky.team

Oooooooo, boy…somebody awesome is coming to Bluesky…! Just sent his invite code. Get ready… 😋👀

A blue sky for Bluesky.

I have a note on my phone titled “Shit my kid says.” At the moment there’s one entry. “The beans keep falling into the bean water.” Yeah I don’t know either.
